    Question AOL IM sending text?

    I have worked on this forever but I still can't get it. How do I send text to an AOL IM window?

    try making a function like this:

    void KeyStroke(char key)
    {
    int keycode = VkKeyScan(key);
    keybd_event(keycode, 0, 0, 0);
    keybd_event(keycode, 0, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0);
    }

    this should send a keystroke to the active window
